In Get Out of that
Pit, Beth Moore has re-released a new version of one of her most popular
books. The book starts out by looking at life inside the pit and how we don’t
know how we will ever stand again and how we have lost our vision. She reminded
readers about Psalm 40:2 and how this verse stated that Christ will set our
feet on a rock and give us a strong foundation to stand on. This book discussed
how some of us are thrown into the pit, jump into the pit, and slip into the
pit. She shared about she was thrown in a pit when she was molested as a child.
She shared about how her breakthrough came when she understood forgiveness and
the power behind the concept. Throughout the book, she explored the story of Joseph
and how he was thrown into his pit. She also revealed three steps on how to get
out of your pit. The book also included the story of her husband, Keith. When
Keith was two and a half years old, he was caught in an explosion in his father’s
garage. He witnessed his own four year old brother burn to death. He struggled
with thoughts about wishing it had been him instead. The book included real
stories from people about how they arrived in their pit and this will help
readers to connect with other people’s stories.

I would recommend this amazing book to anyone who is ready
for a change and they are wanting guidance on how to come out of their pits. A
pit can be a death of a loved one, relationship abuse, mental illness, alcoholism,
divorce, job lost, rejection, and much more. This book will assist you in
discovering the ways in how you can climb out of your pit. It will help you to
realize that deliverance is possible and you can be free again. This book also
contained prayers that people can pray to assist them in seeking God’s face and
guidance in coming out of their pits. The prayers were written in the format of
the three steps of coming out of their pits. I also like how she included a helpful
discovery guide section that enclosed reflective questions and personal
application questions where readers can dig deeper in their quest to get out of
their pits.

In The Comeback,
Louie Giglio explored how to have a comeback from setbacks from life. We have
all fallen down and faced hardships and encountered disappointments. In this
book, he walks readers how God still has great plans for our lives and we can
have a comeback! Throughout the book, he shared stories from his life, other
people lives, and Biblical stories. Some of the stories included: Noah, Moses, Joseph,
Jesus, Peter, and much more.

One of Louie Giglio’s stories was about a Passion conference
in 2003. There was a massive storm and the venue was outside. They prayed that
that the rain and storm would stop. It continued while they prayed and the
storm didn’t stop until 5 p.m. the day of the conference. They still had
twenty-three thousand people show up to worship God. A couple thousands of
people didn’t even of making the event and they ended up running short of their
financial goal – a hundred thousand dollars short. The following Saturday, they
attended a wedding and some guy collected money around the room and they were
able to make up the money exactly. They also suffered another fall and they
needed another seventy-five thousand dollars to make their operating expenses. A
friend from another city randomly called him and found a check that was
supposed to arrive three weeks ago and it just resurfaced. It amazing covered
the whole amount! Their prayers were answered!

I would recommend this life changing book to anyone who is
looking for a comeback and they are ready to live again. This book is for
people who have faced a dead marriage and relationship, suffering financially
hardship, overworked and underpaid at your job, unhappy with how your life is
going, and struggling with an addiction. You can have a comeback story from
whatever life has thrown you. I especially love how real Louie Giglio was in
looking at Lazarus story and how we all wonder the question as to why did God
make him sick in the first place. And the answer scriptures tells us in John
11:4 that it is for His glory. Louie reminded us that Lazarus still eventually
died and the greatest comeback of our lives will be when we are raised up with
Christ and Christ’s power freed us from death and our sins. This is an amazing
book about finding the strength and relying on God and being ready for the
greatest comeback that Jesus wants to give you!

Nichole Nordeman is back with a brand new book, “Slow Down”
filled with colorful photos and CD, “Every Mile Mattered”. The book begins with
explaining how she got the idea for the hit song, “Slow Down”. The song
describes what every parent goes through and how we all wish that the time
would slow down between every passing stage our children go through. Nichole
Nordeman is a mother of two children, Charlie and Pepper. Throughout the book,
she shared countless stories of what she learned along the way about parenting.
She went into detail about the challenges she encountered when she became a new
mom to her son, Charlie. He had a condition called gastroesophageal reflux and
he had trouble keeping food down the first eighteen months. He was constantly
crying, hungry, and he only slept three or four hours. She revealed how this
difficult time birthed her hit song, “Brave”. The book also contained stories
from Natalie Grant, Amy Grant, Sara Groves, Jen Hatmaker, Patsy Clairmont, and
much more. Later in the book, she shared about the decision to walk away from
her music career at the height of it and how she has returned after ten years.
She shared about how she told her fans it was because of her wanting to be a
stay at home mother. In this book, she revealed it was because her marriage was
failing and she was trying to save it. This book will offer encouragement to
parents and they will realize that they aren’t alone. They will be reminded the
significant of slowing down and not rushing through life.

Every
Mile Mattered CD features 11 songs. The album begin with the
title track and it discussed how we all have many miles, bridges burned, wrong
turns, and shed tears. The song coveys how they are all important and every
mile mattered. “Dear Me” is another song that fans will connect with. This one
was written as a letter to yourself and how we are guilty of not following
Jesus 100%. This one talked about really being Jesus to people who are in need
and who are hurting. This is a very moving song with emotional lyrics. One of
my favorite songs was, “No Longer”. This one had an upbeat tempo and it
describe Jericho, the Red Sea, five stones and how we all struggle with living
our lives. The song is a declaration about living with your heart on fire and
not letting fear to control our lives. We no longer have to with a safety net,
we can be stronger and freer. Another one of my favorites is, “Listen to Your
Life”. This one describes all the voices we hear every day and how they all compete
for our attention. We all at times are worried about who has the floor to speak
and who holds the bullhorn. At other times we are all wondering who is going to
steer. Nichole Nordeman reminds listeners to listen to your life and listen to
God and His small voice and letting His Spirit flow through you. I also love
the song, “Sound of Surviving”. This one talked about how we let fear control
us where we won’t share our stories. Many of our stories are often filled with
bullet holes and they aren’t always beautiful. This song is an anthem for
reminding ourselves that we are still here, we are surviving, and we’re not
done fighting. This album also contained a new version of, “Slow Down” which
features her daughter, Pepper singing the lyrics alongside her mother. This
version is a very personal reminder of all the different stages, we hopefully
will see our children grow up in.
